It allowed for aid in the form of loans to be given to nations hurt by the war. Stalin made it illegal for Warsaw Pact countries to accept Marshall Plan aid, thus leaving them under the inefficient communist system. If it can be seen that the Western coutnries (or the countries that accepted Marshall aid) were mroe properous with a higher standard of living, it could help discourage the spread of communism simply trhough public opinion.
